Seeing this, Lore also met the attack head-on, swinging his seemingly tender but hiding immense power Dragon Claw!
Lore’s body was currently scaled up proportionally, which made him look extremely sturdy and bulky, and because of this, the Tyrant Zinogre completely underestimated Lore’s strength when it threw that swipe.
With a bang!
The lightning-wrapped claws of both sides collided!
Suddenly, the Tyrant Zinogre, which had been quite relaxed before the contact, suddenly wore a difficult expression!
It gritted its teeth, and then its body suddenly recoiled a large distance!
But Lore did not retreat a single step; he just slowly lowered his crackling Dragon Claw and grinned at the staggering Tyrant Zinogre.
A look of contempt, as if saying “Is that it?”, appeared on that still-youthful dragon face.
This slightly dismissive appearance angered the Tyrant Zinogre even more than the damage from that claw strike!
It roared at the sky again, emitting an aggressive dragon’s might, and intense lightning erupted from its body as it charged toward Lore!
Seeing this, the injured Mother Zinogre endured the pain and tried to stand up and roar, as if signaling Lore to be careful of this lightning charge!
Although Lore heard it, his heart also hardened!
“A mere dragon charge!
Watch me push it back!”
He also channeled the lightning in his body to the limit, then tensed his strengthened muscles, stomped his front claws, stood upright, and waited for the charge to arrive!
With a bang!
Another explosion echoed through the forest!
The Tyrant Zinogre put all its strength into slamming into Lore’s chest!
This collision really made Lore spit out a mouthful of bile!
But his savage body, strengthened by Growth, actually managed to stop the Tyrant Zinogre in its tracks!
Scanning the ground with his peripheral vision, besides the deep skid marks, Lore had not retreated a single step.
This made Lore overjoyed, and his self-confidence exploded!
On the other side, the Tyrant Zinogre was plunged into deep confusion.
Even though it still looked like a young dragon, why had it become so big and strong?!
Before the Tyrant Zinogre could come to its senses, Lore took a deep breath, then suddenly grabbed the Tyrant Zinogre’s shoulders and slammed it against the rock wall like throwing trash!
The immense impact caused the entire rock wall to collapse instantly.
But how could the strong Tyrant Zinogre give up because of this?
It was already bloodthirsty!
Without hesitation, the moment it landed, it flipped itself over and charged at Lore again to fight!
Lightning flashed and thunder rolled, and the wind from their claws whistled.
The two Zinogres fought, sometimes hand-to-hand, sometimes with thunder.
At first, Lore had the upper hand, but gradually, the fatigue brought by using Growth three times became more intense.
Furthermore, since Lore was new to this world, his actual combat experience was ultimately less than that of the Tyrant Zinogre, which had been fighting for its life.
After another shove, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, his chest heaving violently, and the wounds on his body were burning with pain.
“This won’t do; I can’t keep going like this, I can’t outlast him.”
While chewing a bite of Leftovers, Lore plotted his next move.
Although Leftovers could restore vitality, they could not restore mental strength, and the fatigue was growing; he had to end this quickly!
However, despite multiple rounds of fighting leaving the Tyrant Zinogre covered in wounds, Lore still could not find a key vital point to deliver a fatal blow.
After a moment of mental confusion, Lore’s eyes suddenly fixed, and then he grinned.
He walked forward slowly, revealing a provocative look once again.
This time, it was not just his eyes; his entire body was in a relaxed state.
He lifted his head and face, the sunlight shining on his face creating a strange expression, and he gently paced on the ground, in a cheeky manner as if saying, “Come hit me～ Come hit me～.”
However, this relaxed expression of lifting his head and exposing his neck in the face of a great enemy was tantamount to exposing his own weakness.
This scene left the Mother Zinogre and Luna, who were unable to join the fight and could only watch, dumbfounded!
How could this posture, which clearly invited the opponent to attack a vital point, appear in a desperate life-and-death struggle?!
The Tyrant Zinogre knew this even better!
As a pure beast, it naturally could not tolerate such temptation and provocation, and the second Lore exposed his vulnerability, it roared and bit down!
A cold light flashed in Lore’s eyes, but he did not dodge or evade, letting the Tyrant Zinogre bite his throat!
“Awoo!?”
“Ah-woo?!”
In an instant, both the Mother Zinogre and Luna wailed.
But the next second, the scene of blood splattering did not happen!
The Tyrant Zinogre’s mouth was full of white fluff, and it had exposed a huge opening because of this failed bite!
It was the fluff of a young dragon!
During the young dragon stage, a Zinogre grows thick, soft fluff on its body; this fluff was so long and soft that it caused the Tyrant Zinogre to misjudge the position of Lore’s throat!
No matter how much it had fought with its own kind, this was the first time it had seen a “young dragon” slightly larger than itself!
“Good chance!”
Lore pulled his body down and lunged upward, biting directly onto the wound the Mother Zinogre had previously left on the Tyrant Zinogre’s throat!
